kai2k1 0 #1 February 14, 2004 Its been 5 years as of today since I lost my mom and best friend to ovarian cancer. I have been doing some deep thinking today and I wonder if I did every thing I could as a son. I tend to doubt myself alot and it makes it that much harder. I dont know if I should post the following sotry about that night, but I want others to see and possibly feel what I felt that night. About 3:45 that afternoon I received a phone call telling me that my mom was nearing the end. I got in my car and rushed out to my parents house to find her lying on the couch barely able to speak. Just 3 days prior I had spoken with her and she seemed almost fine. I spent the rest of the afternoon with her and my family out there. About 9:00 PM I thought that I should go. I left and went home to our apt. For some odd reason I decided to go to bed around 900 PM. In my life I have never gone to bed at 900 on a friday night. At 1245 AM I was awakened by a sharp jab in my chest. It almost felt as though someone had cracked my chest open for a millisecond, put something in there and closed me back up. It was at this moment that I knew my mom had succumed to the illness that had plagued her for 2 years 2 month and 22 days. It was at that moment that I had an unbelieveable calm come over me. I called my parents house and my dad informed me that she took her final breath at precisely 1245 AM. I could not believe what had just happened to me. My mom had made a final stop on her way to heaven to tuck me in one last time and to let me know that she would be just fine. The reason I am posting this is to plead with all of you women out there to please get your annual Pap Smear done and to go to the Dr. anytime that you think you may have a problem. Thank You all for reading this. I dont want to bum anyone out, but it makes me feel a little better by putting this out there for you all.

flygirl03 0 #3 February 14, 2004 (((HUGS))) sweetie. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you and your mom were very close. I can only imagine how hard this is for you. But you know what? I believe your mom probably had a hand you posting this and by making this post you could save another woman having to go through what your mom did. You may save another child the loss of a mother. Ladies... it is NOT that big a deal to have a pap test done. You owe it to yourself and your families. Take care of your body. Thanks my friend. I hope you find some comfort and peace tonight.

redramdriver 0 #4 February 14, 2004 From the words you used to describe your closeness with your Mother, and being able to spend some time with her before she passed, you shall always know in your heart that she loved you. You said it best yourself...she was your best friend. Peace.So, you bring your beer? Its 5 o'clock somewhere POPS #9344 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooked 0 #5 February 14, 2004 I'm sorry for the loss of your Mother and best friend. Thank you for posting this very touching remembrance. The love between the two of you was very strong and true. Pap smears are not a big deal and please every woman should have them yearly. Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

I thought the same thing, sad, but very 'moving'. A mother can only hope for a bond as true as theirs.

bobsled92 0 #8 February 14, 2004 Thank you for sharing. At The day My Dad died I felt his absence at 9:31pm exact time of death 107 miles away. You have a loving soul that is now your strength. With that, our beloved parents will always be right by our sides._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themitchyone 0 #9 February 14, 2004 Thanks for sharing. I know women who don't go to the doctor annually, and hopefully this will reach some people who will start going. You also reminded me of my mother, Kai. I know what it feels like to lose your mother. God bless them both. -Michele"If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
